Isabella's Nursery

We are in the process of gathering things for Isabella's nursery and we are slowly but surely getting there. We've painted the walls a cafe brown (a decision that was made before we knew that would be the baby's room) and we decided we're going to stick with it. We've basically been bringing in things from around the house that we already have, such as a white dresser and shelves, a turquoise coffee table that we're made into a storage chest for extra blankets and toys, and some very pale pink curtains that I got on sale at Target for 10 bucks while I was in the states for a visit.

The color scheme for the nursery really came about organically. I didn't plan it, it just happened as we brought things in, and I really love it. I love the brown walls, the pop of color that the turquoise chest brings in, and the hint of pink in the curtains. We also have a white wicker loveseat that we've put in the room, and a beautiful handmade mirror I bought at an art market here in the city. It's a light pink with these pretty handpainted birds on the top. I love it and am excited to hang it somewhere in the room.

We still have one somewhat major project to finish in the room, and that is to rip out the existing carpet. It's a nasty grey stained and dirty carpet that we can't wait to get rid of. We are going to leave the floor with the concrete that's underneath and have bought a beautiful handwoven Mexican rug to cover up the majority of the floor.

I will be sure to take pictures once the room is complete, but in the mean time, here are some pictures that give me inspiration.
